Very nice hotel in walking distance to many Sofia attractions: cathedrals, palace/museum, art galleries, archaeological museum, etc. plus metro and bus/tram lines. We really enjoyed the adjoining Italian restaurant.

Old and loud.
The hotel is very old and the tub is so deep and slippery. I was so scared of taking a shower. At night time there was partying and drinking until dawn. It gets so loud we couldn’t sleep. And in the morning trucks come by to collect alcohol bottles from the street.

It’s at least a bed to sleep in.
It’s a bed to sleep in…. The entrance to the hotel is very nice. Then you get in your room and there are major stains all over the carpet, holes in the wall, smears of “something” on the wall, tape over power outlets, etc. it is centrally located and the staff were very friendly.

Nope.
This hotel is a disaster. It seems like it is a run down old apartment building or rooming house.It is no lobby. The ceiling at the front desk had a 6x6 foot hole in it. The only thing LGTB about it was the wallpaper in the elevator. The rooms are old - nothing has been renovated. There was no hot water in the shower.

今回、立地の良さでは抜群に良買ったです。しかし、冷蔵庫は冷えないのでホテル側に伝えたが改善がなく、シーツも交換して伝えたが『３日間だけでしょっ、忙しいから』っと交換してくれず、使用したコップも言わないと交換してくれなかった、どうなってる🧹。　夜は夜で土曜日だったからか、若者の声がうるさくて熟睡出来ずでした‼️

Muy muy muy malo no lo cojais
El hotel es horrible, no tiene nada que ver con las fotos que salen en internet, las habitaciones están viejísimas los armarios están desconchados la bañera se le ha ido hasta la pintura blanca y está por el centro toda gris. Sucio el cuarto de baño y el váter las sábanas, rotas y amarillas por mucho que sean limpias, estaban amarillas. El servicio de habitaciones pésimo venían hacer la cama y lo único que hacían era estirar las sábanas, luego pondré fotos de como quedaban y en tres días que hemos estado ni han limpiado el cuarto de baño ni han limpiado el suelo ni han limpiado nada. Yo me quejé a hoteles, llamé y les enviaron un email intentaron ponerse en contacto con el hotel también me he quejado en el hotel, pero me dijeron. Ah, es que es viejo y con eso me he quedado NO LO COJÁIS no lo recomiendo para nada, ha sido el peor hotel de toda mi vida. Mirad las fotos. Me siento engañada y estafada.
